Kyrie Irving’s free agency poses a huge problem for the Dallas Mavericks, who know they could lose the player they sacrificed much of the project for to join Luka Doncic.
The transfer that led to Kyrie Irving to dallas mavericks It can be remembered as one of the worst in history. The franchise gave important players like Spencer Dinwiddie, Dorian Finney-Smith, a first round and two second rounds in compensation. All with the aim of placing a player of All-Star caliber alongside Luka Doncic that would allow him to compete for the ring.
However, the transfer had the opposite effect. Upon his arrival, the team was fifth in the Western Conference and they finally finished the season in eleventh position, even outside of play-in positions. But this is not the most serious of all. And it is that Kyrie Irving could leave Dallas Mavericks this same summer and we already know what his intentions are.
Irving sends a clear message to the Dallas Mavericks
Since before the transfer took place we knew that Kyrie Irving wanted to play alongside LeBron James and Anthony Davis in the Los Angeles Lakers. This idea has not disappeared from his head and his intention in free agency is to end up playing in the purple and gold franchise. Something that he demonstrated with his gesture last Tuesday.
As we could see, Kyrie Irving was present at the fourth game of the series between the Los Angeles Lakers and Denver Nuggets. This has only fueled the information that places him once again with LeBron James, with whom he already met at the Cleveland Cavaliers and with whom he maintains an excellent personal relationship.
The transfer that the Lakers and Mavs could close
However, not everything is negative. Due to salary cap, Los Angeles Lakers can’t offer Kyrie Irving a big contract, as is your wish. That is why the transfer should be closed by a sign-and-trade. In this way, the Dallas Mavericks would lose their star, but in exchange they would receive important pieces in compensation.
The package that the Lakers could offer would be made up of the likes of D’Angelo Russell, Malik Beasley, Rui Hachimura, Jarret Vanderbilt and even Austin Reaves. Thus, Dallas Mavericks would lose Kyrie Irving but it would add great depth of staff. A depth that they lost with the transfer and that has cost them dearly, since their duo with Luka Doncic never worked.
